I could very well be his diet? I am just getting through a sick glider experience who was malnutrished. I have been working with him about a weak and a half now. Romeo was put on antibotics also. He stool was very soft and a yellow/brown (baby poop color). There are 2 possiblities, 1 diet, not well round, and the antibiotic seemed to help keep his stool soft. He is now off of the medicines. Remember they need calcium, 25% protien a must in diet and selenium. This is the treatment we are using now to help him to a full recovery. Good luck...

: I recently adopted a glider that was saved by me vet, a real sweatheart, who had an really bad in absess behind his eye. The original owner brought the little glider to my vet and wanted him put to sleep...my vet said absolutely not, operated on the little guy and he's doing much beter now. He called me and I adopted the little guy and named him Lucky. He has bonded with me in just 4 days and loves his new home. I have 2 other gliders, a male that is 1.5 years old and a female at 1 year old. I want lucky to have a companion and wanted to know, when he gets all better and a little older...I figure he's about 4 months oop, if I could put him in the cage with the two other gliders. Also Lucky still has loose stools and I was wondering if it's the antibiotics or his diet that's causing this...he's eating very well...maybe too well. Anything to give him to make him regular?
